just finished swapping out my one piece downpipe with hiflow cat. now im running a one piece downpipe with resonated testpipe. sounds much deeper and a tad bit louder. so it was a 15 minute drive from the buddy's shop back to my house and the backfire i notice is wicked loud.:rock:
and when i half throttle it around 3500rpm to about 5500rpm , i felt as if the pull was more pronounce and a bit more agressive.


what else should i expect from having this installed?

-You should expect a gas smell occasionally at lights.
-Its a good idea to shut down your car if you get pulled over.
-Flames

-If you rev match, you'll definitely see flames all the time.
- havent smelled anything and if i did it soo faint.
- i wont get pulled over cuz im a very conservative driver
- waiting for a flame. heard backfires but not yet a flame.
- i have an MR so no true revmatch like a GSR can

Do you have the dp and res tp with the stock exhaust? Thats what i currently have and the only time i backfired is when i was at the track and i kept fitting fuel cut up from fuel starvation. Also i never noticed a sound difference at all since the stock mufflers were still there.

Not tuned yet...put almost 10000kms this past summer with test pipe and all my bolt ons. The cel comes on once in a while but goes away within the next day. I only get the code for the 02 censor and it's stuck right in there like normal.

Not recommending it but I've had
No problems lol if Iived close to ams I wouldn't be in this dilemma of picking a place in Toronto...hmph gonna suck it up in April and prob just go to magnusmotorsports

why wouldnt you want a tune to most efficiently/safely use your set up?

Im confused? Is a resonated test pipe the same as a HFC?
